Arterial fibromuscular dysplasia - what does this mean
Arterial fibromuscular dysplasia is a condition that occurs when the walls of the arteries become thickened and narrowed due to an overgrowth of smooth muscle cells and fibrous tissue. this can cause a decrease in blood flow to organs and tissues, resulting in a variety of symptoms.
What happens during the disease - arterial fibromuscular dysplasia
Arterial fibromuscular dysplasia is a condition characterized by the abnormal growth of muscle and fibrous tissue in the walls of the arteries. this abnormal growth can cause the arteries to become narrow and stiff, leading to decreased blood flow and increased risk for stroke and other cardiovascular problems. the exact cause of arterial fibromuscular dysplasia is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Review patient's medical history and symptoms
- Perform physical examination
- Conduct imaging tests (e.g. CT scan, MRI, ultrasound)
- Perform angiogram to check for narrowing of the arteries
- Perform biopsy of the affected artery
- Perform genetic testing to check for mutations in genes associated with arterial fibromuscular dysplasia
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce symptoms and improve blood flow in the arteries
- Prescribing medications to reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol, and/or decrease clotting
- Surgery to correct any blockages in the arteries
- Exercising regularly to improve overall health and reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease
- Eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains
- Quitting smoking
- Managing stress levels
- Monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels regularly
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Arterial fibromuscular dysplasia - Prevention
The best way to prevent arterial fibromuscular dysplasia is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption. additionally, controlling high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes can help reduce the risk of developing the condition.
